Cast Id column type of Long to Text so LIKE can be applied - postgresql

Question

I am using CriteriaBuilder to create a Query that returns a List of MyOwnEntitiy. In my entity I have a #Id that is type of Long but I have the need to query the entity when id is like '%3%'. In plain sql I have several options:
select * from MyOwnTable where concat(id,id) like '%3'
select * from MyOwnTable where id::text like '%3'
select * from MyOwnTable where cast(id as text) like '%3'
but when using hibernate and criteriaBuilder I get stuck when trying to cast to text.
I tried to use #Formula annotation in myOwnEntity:
#Formula("id::Text")
private String idToText;
but still get the exception:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Parameter value [%3%] did not
match expected type [java.lang.Long (n/a)]
final CriteriaQuery<MyOwnEntitiy> criteriaQuery = CriteriaBuilder.createQuery(MyOwnEntitiy.class);
final Root<MyOwnEntitiy> myOwn = criteriaQuery.from(MyOwnEntitiy.class);
criteriaQuery.where(CriteriaBuilder.like(myOwn.get("idToText"), "%3%")))
I expect to see in hibernate sql the same or similar that I see in plain sql.

Answer 1

Leave the id field as Long
public class MyOwnTable {
#Id
private Long id;
and use .as(String.class) in criteria builder:
CriteriaBuilder criteriaBuilder = entityManager.getCriteriaBuilder();
final CriteriaQuery<MyEntity> criteriaQuery = criteriaBuilder.createQuery(MyEntity.class);
final Root<MyEntity> myOwn = criteriaQuery.from(MyEntity.class);
criteriaQuery.where(criteriaBuilder.like(myOwn.get("id").as(String.class), "%3%"));
TypedQuery<MyEntity> typedQuery = entityManager.createQuery(criteriaQuery);
List<MyEntity> myEntitiesContainingThreeInId = typedQuery.getResultList()
